It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-40017 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40017/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40017/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40017","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40017/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40017","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40017","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40017","GHSA-p74f-qpqg-5w8f","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40017"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel media driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel iris media driver allows attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting system memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: iris: Fix memory leak by freeing untracked persist buffer\n\nOne internal buffer which is allocated only once per session was not\nbeing freed during session close because it was not being tracked as\npart of internal buffer list which resulted in a memory leak.\n\nAdd the necessary logic to explicitly free the untracked internal buffer\nduring session close to ensure all allocated memory is released\nproperly.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"media: iris: Fix memory leak by freeing untracked persist buffer","id":"CVE-2025-40017","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"ipvs: Defer ip_vs_ftp unregister during netns cleanup","id":"CVE-2025-40018"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: uvcvideo: Mark invalid entities with id UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID","id":"CVE-2025-40016"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-10-20","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel iris media driver allows attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting system memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40017/"}
